Got to run a game of Raccoon Sky Pirates, from @hecticelectron.bsky.social, tonight!!

What an absolute blast, Rabies Eddie saved the day pulling on levers, while a pigeon and a possum chased a cat around a house.

Sound wild? It was! And that's why YOU need to pick it up

I fucking hate this so much. I hate this so fucking much, but I can't continue to stay silent anymore while my integrity is continuing to be misconstrued and people keep getting hurt. This statement details my experiences while living with Noir Enigma (@/thenoirenigma) when I was homeless.

Breeedo has agonized over whether or not to share for so long.
I believe Breeedo.
I know what happened to me & Candace
And I believe the other people who have confided issues with Noir.

Noir's lack of accountability and patterns of DARVO + career sabotage with Black women and queers must stop.

Bree told me about her experiences, which she’s warred over saying publicly for some time. I believe them.

Many of you have heard disparaging remarks about Bree from Noir. I highly suggest you rethink and reflect given this information. This is a terrible way to treat someone, let alone a friend.

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI?

Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche says ‘organized’ Trump protesters could be investigated

Blanche spoke as DOJ sought to walk back Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments about "hate speech," which landed her in hot water with conservatives.

Right now, it's comedians mocking Trump. How long before they move to target any depictions on TV of trans people, gay couples, and interracial couples? That's how this start. And once they ban depictions, it's much easier for them to make people disappear.

It isn't much, but I will always and only use actual living, breathing, human artists for my book covers and any other creative endeavor that requires art.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Gonna say this very very very slowly

The main issue with putting your name on a protest list

is not whether the government has your name

It is you providing information about where you are/will be

That is *legally* actionable
